Eli Spivakovsky- A Poem

The Receiver

Your Pacific urges, crack through old technology marine-drenched cablesand the international telephonic corridorsof epic, sonic, optic rush and pauseconducting and over-lapping, delaying the sound of rainin the backgroundwhere you liveslowing the drops to a sixth of a second.

And my Atlantic urges, to say a not yet obsoletebrief prayer or other kind of organic weather balloon,to throw another skipping stoneback through thatcreacking hallway of sequencesno longer affected by zone or country,ascendingfrom my mouthto your ear,bouncing like sonaron to the firmament,waiting to be receivedin heaven as it is in the ocean: bound together againat exactly the same time.
